Hi yogirajj. I have had the exact same issues that popped up on Saturday and have been persisting ever since.

Did you have any luck with godaddy on the phone? If so, what did they tell you?

I have been emailing back and forth with several of their support people who say they can not replicate the issue, but lo and behold I have the issue every single time I am logged in.

Got it! Thanks, and test seem to be working now.

I would like to thank you very much for all your assistance and quick responses!!

Awesome, okay making progress now. So my custom fields are now showing. I entered custom fields of author, author-email, and author-website just like you have on your screen shot.

What value do I use to have it pull in the author’s information once they complete the guest post form?

Thanks. I now see that my problem is I don’t have the custom fields option on my post editing screen. Any idea how I get this?

I am still not quite sure what you mean. Can you elaborate on the author custom field?

I have done a few “test” guest posts and all of them post as pending articles under my name instead of the name that was entered under the YOUR NAME section of the guest post form. When I look at the different author options from dashboard, there is no way to tell who wrote (nor email contact) unless they were to put that in the body of the post.

Does it have to be edited in the plugin? Does it have anything to do with this coding from the plugin files?:

//Post Properties
$new_post = array(
‘post_title’ => $title,
‘post_content’ => $story,
‘post_category’ => $category, // Usable for custom taxonomies too
‘tags_input’ => $tags,
‘post_status’ => ‘pending’, // Choose: publish, preview, future, draft, etc.
‘post_type’ => ‘post’, //’post’,page’ or use a custom post type if you want to
‘post_author’ => $authorid //Author ID
);
//save the new post
$pid = wp_insert_post($new_post);

/* Insert Form data into Custom Fields */
add_post_meta($pid, ‘author’, $author, true);
add_post_meta($pid, ‘author-email’, $email, true);
add_post_meta($pid, ‘author-website’, $site, true);

When I have a guest post come through, it is not showing who the author is who filled out the guest post form.

I have the same issue that swapnesh had where it automatically gets posted under admin, or in this case my name. But my problem is how do I know who actually wrote the post to give them credit?

Do I have a setting wrong?
